“On The Edge Of Wrong” - Open Up Your Mind

On The Edge Of Wrong ‘08
a festival of improvised music

PRESS RELEASE

“On The Edge Of Wrong” returns to Cape Town 29 February – 2 March continuing the spirit of free music exploration. It will be held at The Intimate Theatre in Cape Town.

On The Edge Of Wrong promotes improvised music as a search for “a music” which is immediate and unbound by stylistic conformity. Hence the name of the festival, it provides an environment for music that is conventionally marginalized. We believe there is a need to create a stage for stronger personal opinions, and that one way to stimulate preference is to hold a festival for highly individualistic music. Performances of this kind are generally too few and far between in a place where it is needed.

We have an international cast this year including artists such as Streifenjunko (NO) Morten Minothi Kristiansen (NO), as well as SAs own Louis Moholo, Zim Ngqawana, Brydon Bolton to name a few. Confirmed lineup for "On the Edge of Wrong" 2008 is as follows:
